Based on

[edit]

Regarding this, I actually think @Señor Keesh may be right here. The first sentence of the lead links to the comics character on whom the film/series is based, and in this case it is indeed Shuri and not T'Challa. Black Panther (character) only discusses T'Challa, not all incarnations of the character. InfiniteNexus (talk) 00:31, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The credits should still hold some weight here, as it only says Based on the Marvel Comics. This is clearly titled "Black Panther". I think we should transition to the wording of based on the Marvel Comics featuring the character Black Panther or ... featuring the character Shuri / Black Panther. Simply saying it is based on Shuri is not in fact true, as it is based on the comics Shuri and the Black Panther are featured in. Trailblazer101 (talk) 00:39, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ah ok, thanks for advising. Señor Keesh (talk) 00:40, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Shuri was also known as the Black Panther in the comics. The lead should say featuring the character [[Shuri (character)|Shuri / Black Panther]]. The infobox should of course stay the same, per the credits. InfiniteNexus (talk) 00:43, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, that's in line with my thoughts. Trailblazer101 (talk) 00:45, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I hadn't realized that the lead currently says based on the Marvel Comics character. Yeah, that's definitely not right, per the previous discussions since the credits say Based on the Marvel Comics the lead should use based on Marvel Comics featuring the character. I'll adjust it. InfiniteNexus (talk) 01:01, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, somehow that was overlooked. Glad it's fixed now. Trailblazer101 (talk) 01:04, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I want to change the access date of box offices, due to were updated from March 13 to March 17. Here is the proof that box offices were last updated on March 17, which have remained until now: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2022_in_film&diff=prev&oldid=1145228392

 Question: I don't quite understand. Do you mean that the citations should be updated? Usually, when citations are used across multiple articles, the "accessed on XYZ" field does not automatically get updated. That's also important because what it actually says at that link can change, so it is correct for the citation to refer to a date in the past here. Actualcpscm (talk) 17:14, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The access date should be the most recent date the citation was accessed, and the information in the article reflects the citation. It should be updated to today's date whenever the information is updated using it. Thanks, Indagate (talk) 17:26, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As per WP:CITEWEB and the "Links and ID numbers" subsection further down on that page, the "accessed" field corresponds to "the date you retrieved (or accessed) the web page". Its inclusion is relevant "in case the web page changes in the future", which means that it's relevant to the specific use of the source. As far as I would interpret this, it's quite clear that the "accessed" field should not be universally updated across different articles whenever a source is accessed. It's quite important that it is not, since different articles might refer to different parts of the cited source, which might change at different times. I am not aware of any effort whatsoever to implement a universal synchronisation of the "accessed" field for identical citations in different articles, as it would defeat the very purpose of giving this information. Actualcpscm (talk) 17:38, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, if it is accessed again and the article is updated in accordance with the new information, then it should be updated. The original request did not indicate that that was the case, they linked to the edit history of a different article. Actualcpscm (talk) 17:39, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Public forum for discussion of plot summary

[edit]

What is the established consistency with plot ledes and summaries? 3vvww661 (talk) 16:26, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not entirely sure what you're asking. A good place to start is MOS:FILM, and specifically MOS:FILMPLOT for anything plot summary related. --GoneIn60 (talk) 17:31, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
